OTTO SELG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

FAN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OTTO SELG, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, (Manhattan,) county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fans, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved fan and more particularly to novel means for deflecting the air blast and causing it to spread over an increased area.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a plan o my improved fan, showing the deflector in section; Fig. 2 a iront elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 a detail o the delector attaching means.

Within the housing 5 of an electric fan turns the shaft 6, carrying the Avanes 7, as usual. In iront of vanes 7, there extends an upright rod 8 secured to housing 5 by upper and lower arms 9. Rod 8 is embraced by a socket l0 which is rotatably mounted thereon and may be locked inposition by a clamp screw l1. VTo the front oi socket l0 there is secured by clamp screw l2, a deflector or air distributer composed of two overlapping sections 13, 13, set in advance of each other, so that lthey may be independently turned on their axis. Each section 13 is made flaring or semi-bell-shaped, and is provided at the curved part of its periphery with a rear pocket or air trap I4. This pocket is formed between the rearwardly curved rim l5 of section 13 and a flange 16 projecting forwardly rom such rim. Slots or perforations 17 in sections 13, and extend- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing also over rim l5, permit the iree passage of air therethrough. Flange 16 is7 however, imperforate, so that the air iowing into pocket 14, will be deflected and pass through openings I7 in various directions over a widel area. A

It will be seen that by causing sections 13 t0 Overlap to a greater or less extent, the sector-shaped opening thus formed may be varied in size and location, so that the direction and volume oi the blast is under full control. So also, by turning socket l0 on rod 8, the deflcctor may be set at various angles to the axis o the fan.

I claim:

1. A fan provided with a deector composed of slotted sections, means for independently turning said sections, means for locking said sections, and means for setting said sections at various inclinations to the axis of" the fan, substantially as specified.

2. A fan provided with a dellector composed of a slotted body having a rearwardly extendingslotted rim, and an imperforate ange extending forwardly from said rim, substantially as specified.

3. A fan provided with a housing, a rod secured thereto, a socket adjustably engaging said rod, a slotted curved deector secured to the socket, and an imperforate ange on the rear side of said deector, substantially as speciicd.
